conversation inspired by Rent (the movie, not the bill)

I sat down to watch Rent the other night and my 6.5 year old son decided to curl up with me on the couch and watch it too. I figured he'd fall asleep. But no! He has a new found love of musicals! He stayed awake past 10 PM, almost to the end--till where they found Mimi

Wow. I think I said this on MDC, but your son sounds like a very sensitive soul. Did he like La Vie Boheme?

Yes you did say it before but it bears repeating. lol. He really is. Startles me sometimes. One time when we were out walking in the redwoods after a heavy rain, he and I were strolling along leisurely behind the girls and chatting and he stopped and tilted his head and said, "Shh mama, the trees are talking to me." We stood there listening for a while to the dripping of the rain off the branches onto the thick mulch below, then he just smiled and started walking again. He was four. *sigh* I love him.
And yeah, he loved La Vie Boheme and cracked up when she mooned Benny and Co.
